Photography
Street photography and street portraits, black and white, New York first. Three collections, 243 frames, cut from an archive of about four thousand. Grouped by what the pictures are doing rather than by where they were taken, the cities turn up in the captions.

The Wait
I don’t chase pictures. I find a frame that already works, the light, the lines, the gap between two buildings, and then I stand there until somebody walks into it. Most of these took a lot longer to get than they look.

Against the Light
Under the tracks, under the bridges, down any street that goes black and leaves one bright opening. I meter for the opening and let the person become a shape. You lose the face and the clothes and what they are carrying, and what is left is the walk.
